It’s a motion like that in Wang Wei’s lines, ‘Stars \/ float up \/ toward dawn,’ which she quotes in her cento, ‘Wang Wei’s Moon.’ Or, as she beautifully puts it, ‘Discreetly a breeze enters the room.’”—John Ashbery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eRipple Effect\u003c\/i\u003e showcases thirty years of Elaine Equi’s investigations into our cultural obsessions. Vivid, savvy, and accessible, her poems can transform almost anything—a list, a diary entry, advertising speak—into sophisticated, germane elixirs of pop culture and high art. Widely published, these poems have appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker, The American Poetry Review,\u003c\/i\u003e and numerous volumes of \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Poetry.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coffee House Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049584312560,"sku":"9781566891974","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781566891974_p0.jpg?v=1763786770","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781566891974","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
